MrRobot Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 My charge port caps got warm and lost their shape a little bit so they don't stay locked on as well. Are there higher quality more waterproof rubber caps I can replace them with? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempted to see if the printer can solve it, I'll get back with you on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have solved it and with color choices... any takers? "high" quality is subjective, but I find these are nicer than the stupid loose Gotways.

I ordered some off ebay that supposedly are but they're coming from China so I won't have them for a while. How exactly do you install them?

..... Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) They are made of a Tpu plastic material. Very stretchy. You put them on by putting an edge of the ring under the connector lip and gently pulling it until seated. https://forum.electricunicycle.org/topic/20070-replacement-power-cap-for-gotway-style/ Edited September 23, 2020 by ShanesPlanet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scared of the metal housing though. Really gotta make sure it's insulated super well or else couldn't it short circuit the entire wheel and turn it into a giant bomb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was checking today, and they seem crazily right to the body like you mentioned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up just attaching them to the brake light cable instead. I ordered mine off ebay they are different but rubber and work well.

I always send extras as yes, its a very tight fit. You pull mine on and they will get under that lip. I sent a guitar pic with the set to assist in installing. Do NOT use metal tools near a charge port. I designed these with a very thin ring to help aid in getting under the connector edge. Let me know how you get along with them. My first concern is that you are content with your purchase. Thanks and enjoy! Edited November 6, 2020 by ShanesPlanet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
